A tentative compromise was the result of a meeting this weekend between a federal mediator, industrial battery manufacturer C&D Technologies, and the union that represents 250 of its employees, which had threatened to strike because of an unfavorable proposed labor agreement.

The union's membership will vote on the new agreement today, said Roger Deal, regional director of the IUE-CWA, a local chapter of the Communication Workers of America. Its bargaining committee recommended the contract be approved.
